Electronic Arts has announced ‘NFL Tour,’ currently in development at EA’s Tiburon Studios where Madden comes to life, will be on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 sometime in January 2008.
The new fully-licensed arcade-style NFL game will put players in the shoes of a young athlete who must tour to different NFL cities in a fictional road show. The player’s performance in games will affect whether he will be able to earn an NFL contract when the road show is complete. Think of it as an alternative for players who were not drafted out of college but still have hopes of making the show.
“We are extremely excited about our new arcade football game, NFL Tour, which will provide players with a brand new exciting football experience,” said Executive Producer Dale Jackson. “NFL Tour is a fun, action-packed football game that will appeal not only to football enthusiasts, but also to casual gamers.”
Look for the first screenshots of ‘NFL Tour’ out of E3 in the days ahead.
